The Outer Loop of the Beltway has reopened, after a dump
truck accident closed all northbound lanes for more than an hour.
The truck overturned, spilling a load of gravel and
dirt, just past Exit 11A in Prince George’s County at about 12:15 p.m.
A Maryland State Police dispatcher said that no other
vehicles were involved in the accident, and she did not know what caused the
truck to turn over. The debris was being cleared by emergency responders.
The driver of the dump truck, the only person inside,
was hospitalized with injuries that are not life-threatening, the dispatcher
said.
